Removed students keep their stars
If you remove a student from a class, they can still log in by name on that computer and pick up where they left off.

Earlier updates
1.1.0 · Teacher accounts, hand guides and mouse lessons
🍎 New: Teacher accounts and classes. Teachers sign up at /teacher, create a class with a join code and add students. Each student gets a PIN, and their progress follows them to any computer.
📊 Class progress dashboard. See the week at a glance, each student’s lessons, stars, speed and accuracy, print login cards and export to CSV. A summary arrives by email every Friday.
🔑 Use your TechSheets, SkillByte or Academy login. Teachers who already have a TFE account can sign in with it. Students saved on a classroom computer can be moved into a class.
✋ Hand guide before every lesson. A short animation shows where fingers rest on the home row and which finger presses each new key in the lesson.
🖐️ On-screen hands while typing. See-through hands over the keyboard light up the finger for the next key. Students can turn them off with the Show hands switch.
🎯 Accuracy goal to move on. Each prompt now has an accuracy goal for its grade band. Students who miss it are asked to try again before moving on.
🪟 Results pop up after every prompt. Try Again and Next now appear in a pop-up, so students no longer have to scroll to find them. Enter continues.
🖱️ New: Mouse & Trackpad lessons. Five short games for young learners to practice moving, clicking, double-clicking, dragging and scrolling.
👥 Saved students on the login screen. Students who have used a device appear on the login screen. They tap their name and enter their PIN.
